this isn't an axis question (despite the subject) it's a string-value-of-nodeset question. <xsl:template match="tag"> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> </xsl:template match> I get both of them: here the template fires on each tag element, and each time the @name expression is evaluated. So you get the value of the name attribute in each case: greedylonely <xsl:template match="tag"> <xsl:value-of select="../tag/@name"/> </xsl:template match> here you evaluate the expression ../tag/@name which returns a node set of all the name attribute nodes of tag children of your parent. you then execute value-of which makes the string value of whatever expression is selected. The string value of a node set is the character data in (all the descendents of) the first node in the set. so in this case that is greedy, so you get that twice.
